Happy Haulidays from Chronicle Books

One lucky winner will be chosen to win his or her wish list and that blogger will also get to nominate a charity to win $500 worth of books!

My favorite bookish charity? Well, that’s pretty obvious: the New York Public Library. Although I have a soft spot for the Ottendorfer Branch, I would say that I’d like the entire NYPL to win, in the lovely event that I win.

Although, I kind of wish the first prize were bookshelves. I could really, really use more bookshelves.

Perusing the site, what I see are interesting books I’ve never heard of before, or books I never knew I wanted. So, we shall see!

See’s Famous Old Time Candies– Margaret Moos Pick. $14.95 A story of a candy company on the West Coast. I have fond memories of getting those lollipops before the movies.

This is NPR– By Cokie Roberts,, Susan Stamberg,, Noah Adams,, John Ydstie,, Renee Montagne,, Ari Shapiro,,and David Folkenflik. Actually, 2 copies of this, because I could see giving one to my parents and one to ChrisL. so 2 x $29.95

Icthyo, the Architecture of Fish– Introduction by Stephanie Comer,and Deborah Klochko,Essays by Dr. Daniel Pauly,and Jean-Michel Cousteau,and Dr. Lynne R. Parenti. $35.00 Present for my Mom. And then she would throw it at me. I would be okay with this.

E-Mergency! by Tom Lichtenfield and Ezra Fields-Meyer.$16.99 A picture book about the perils of the letter E. Makes me giggle.
